The visionary entrepreneur set Twitter a titter when he claimed earlier this week that New York Times writer John Broder had fudged details about the Tesla Models S car’s range in cold weather, resulting in what he termed a “fake” article. Musk promised evidence, and now he has delivered, via the official Tesla blog."

If you believe Tesla (and they do have some persuasive quantitative evidence), it seems you have to be smarter than your average (or is that mediocre?) NY Times reporter to drive an electric car successfully. On the other hand, Mr. Broder seems to have significantly lowered that barrier.
